LANSING, MI — Lansing School District Superintendent Ben Shuldiner is one step closer to heading to the West Coast. At its board meeting this week, Seattle Public Schools voted unanimously to choose Shuldiner as its finalist to lead the district. Contract negotiations are expected to commence immediately between the two sides.
Shuldiner has led the Lansing School District since 2021. He is credited for increasing graduation rates and boosting attendance.
“I’m humbled to be selected to serve as the next Superintendent of Seattle Public Schools at this inflection point in the district’s history,” Shuldiner said in a statement. “During my tenures as a teacher, as an administrator, and as a leader in national organizations, I’ve seen common values across communities and classrooms. Students, families, and staff are what make them extraordinary. And they expect honesty and transparency so that together we can achieve the most for every young person in our district.”
